TABLE ATTACHIMENT F03 SHOE-JACKS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. FAULK, citizen of the United States, residing at St. John, in the county of Stafford and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Table Attachments for Shoe-Jacks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is a simple an d efiicient construction of table attachment for shoe repairing jacks which will be of assistance to the shoemaker in holding his tools and nails or pegs in convenient position for use so that they will always be at hand, and the invention consists in certain constructions and arrangements of the parts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, and to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a perspective view illustrating the invention.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the standard of a shoe repairing jack, 2 the head thereof, 3 a post projecting upwardly from said head, and 4 a bracket which is pivotally connected to the upper end of said post, said bracket carrying a rotatable shank 5 to the outer end of which a last may be attached in the usual manner. The bracket 4 is provided with a base 6 designed to rest upon a ledge 7 carried by the head 2 of the standard when the shank is swung to an upright position.

My improved attachment comprises a table 8 of any desired size, shape and material, said table being preferably provided with an upstanding rim 9 and being formed with a recess 10 designed to receive the upper end of the shank 5, when the same is swung upwardly. The table 8 is formed at one side with a downwardly projecting extension 11,

the end of which is positioned in a substantially horizontal plane and is formed with upstanding marginal ears 12 designed to hold a tray 13 for nails or pegs, said tray being preferably divided into compartments, as shown.

The table 8 is secured in position by a brace 14 connected at its upper end to the table and at its lower end to the ledge 7, by a corresponding brace 15 secured to the extension 1 1 of the table and also to said ledge, and by a middle brace 16 which is secured to the middle of the table, as shown, and which is provided with a forked lower end 17, the members of which are connected to the ledge 7 at the ends thereof.

From the foregoing description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be apparent that I have provided a very simple, durable and efficient construction of table attachment, by the use of which the workman may always have convenient at hand tools necessary for performing the job of repairing a shoe, the table being supported in a convenient position for use and interfering in nowise with the adjustable features of the shank.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is The combination with a shoe repairing jack com rising a standard and a last shank pivotalfy connected to said standard to swing in a vertical plane, of a table secured to said standard and supported thereby in an elevated position above the standard, said table being formed in one edge with a recess designed to accommodate the shank in the upright position thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES M. FAULK.
